Mariachi Loco Grill & Cantina

I guess I was expecting better. I had the taco platter...the Birria is good. The carne asada okay. Pork belly tasted more like carnitas (okay if you ordered carnitas). The fish taco may be better grilled... battered there was maybe 2 small bites of fish. The refried beans were just lukewarm but tasty.

My waiter was a pleasant guy but when I suggested a larger glass for soda so he didn't have to make repeated trips for refills his solution was to just eliminate the ice...lol

For the prices they charge I expected more. I came in wanting fajitas but I'll be darned if I'm going to pay $28 for what I can get anywhere else in town for $22 or less.

As far as atmosphere...it would have been nice if the music was background music and not drowning out all conversation.

I don't think I'll be back but that's just me and my personal preferences. Most of the other reviews are very positive!

Try it for yourself!

Stopped by for a casual dinner and was pleasantly surprised! The bartender really knew their craft – the drinks were spot on, well-balanced, and made with care. I ordered the taco, and they didn’t disappoint – fresh, flavorful, and nicely portioned. We tried their quesobirria, camaron(shrimp), battered fish, and asada, of course.

Some family members tried their sushi and Asad fries. According to my child, the fries themselves could have tasted better. The sushi was tasty.

The only downside was the dessert – the ice cream had melted almost by the time it reached the table. Like soup. Not a dealbreaker, but something to keep in mind.

Bathrooms were immaculate. Very clean.

Overall, it's a great spot for drinks and tacos. I’ll definitely be back.

I landed in Simi Valley for an alignment on my Audi Q5 at America's Tire and they suggested this place. I am glad I listened to them.

I love their Poke Nachos here.

The pics speak for themselves, if you're local check this place out!

Waited 40 mins for the food and our chicken was undercooked (picture).

We came after 8pm in a Saturday and the restaurant is not even full. The service was very slow, have to asked twice for water, twice for silverware and serving plates. The main dish came 40 minutes after we ordered. While we were waiting, we were first told there were two large orders before us, granted everyone in the restaurant had their food already. Another guy then told us there was an equipment failure in the kitchen, hence the delay. Food finally came after the long wait and our chicken was pink!!!

The only bright spot is our waiter (Carlos) who tried to apologize and did what he could to make us feel better.

The food is just alright 👍
Service: very slow
Take another stab: I'm not sure
Local resident here 👍

Delicious food!! And very friendly staff. Just had the best chilaquiles for brunch that I’ve had in all of Simi. Will definitely be returning!

The food is more of a Chipotle experience. Serves and caters their food more towards a bar atmosphere than a restaurant. Good if you are there for the game or to have a few drinks. Okay if you're expecting restaurant size dishes. The staff were very nice and attentive.

All the dishes were delicious, the drinks were very well prepared, we went with a group of friends and the truth is that we had a great time, especially the music they played, I recommend it 100% if you want to eat delicious food and have a nice time.
